So it was Panday 5 last time, but in order to preserve the official "Panday" I am going to start this spin-off title, for which I have no idea of what it should be yet, but anyway...

...It's that time again! The Yorkshire Dales are calling all Pandarers for another adventure into the northern wilderness.



As this is once again an introduction thread to get numbers together and suggest dates, I will save alot of the weekends' detail until I get the proper event thread up.

So this time I will be organising a weekend much the same as the last, but with different routes and points of interest, similar milage and a whole lot more 4x2-friendly green laning! We'll have a Saturday's jaunt along the black stuff enjoying the best country roads that Yorkshire has to offer, then a Sunday hitting the hills and dales' byways ofcourse not forgetting ending the day at the Panda off-road paradise, Sharow Common. Local overnight accommodation is a plenty around here so if anyone has a fair distance to travel they can come up and enjoy the whole weekend without the worry of doing the extra milage. When the dates are finalised I will provide suggestions of accommodation and prices in the area. If anyone would like the check the milage on an internet-based mapping program or indeed a satnav the meeting point for the weekend will be Masham, North Yorkshire.

I am suggesting the following weekends, I would love it if as many could attend as last time, but I understand alot of people are already booked up. I will ultimately make the decision based on the most popular available weekend but this will inevitably mean some people will not be able to join in.

THE DATES:-

1. Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th March.

2. Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th April.

3. Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th April.

I would like it if (amongst the discussion) we can keep a bit of a table going saying the weekend number(s) that you will be able to attend on...

Great stuff guys

I am very pleased with how this is panning out already! Are we all in 4x4s?

So chuffed you've started this Andy - at the moment not sure which car I'll be in. Could be 2WD (daily driver), 2WD (trials car) or Mk1 4WD (might be next year for that one!). As of yesterday though none have that happy combination of being road legal and actually working! One way or another I'll be there though.

Excellent, I forgot that Jacob kolza will be in his Formula '91 also - or maybe the Sisley will be ready! As with the last do we will not be out to damage any vehicles, I will be driving the route soon to hopefully make another video to show some of the route for the event thread

Defo sisley this time. Looking forward to stay over night as well.

Mine's 4x2 - I'll probably leave the alloys at home for this one!

Glad I've resisted the urge to lower it

Well you won't be disappointed with it's performance off the beaten track - the 4x2s last year breezed the trails even the tougher bits didn't bother them at all.

It's my one regret about lowering, I can't really attempt shindigs like this. At least I don't think so, is this too low?

1/ If I still have my Fiorino and there's room for a bigun.

Giacosa she's probably a bit too low for the rough stuff but you are still welcome to come along for the saturday on the roads and catch a ride in mine or somebody elses for the off road day

Awwwwww yiiiiiiiiihhhhhhhh.

Look at that, it's amazing! You should definitely bring it along on Saturday, I'm sure you'll be able to hitch a ride on the Sunday
